Is this being continued?

Is the series being continued or is it completed? We should add that. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Lordkarasu (talk • contribs).

Yeah it's complete(from what sites such as Baka-Updates say), I added it on.

So... what's the plot?

Just found out about this manga from some fan picture, but this article has yet to tell me what the story is about. What's the plot? Are there any references for any of the information stated here? Wolf ODonnell 13:05, 7 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

As for the plot, there isn't much; just the main characters wandering around and meeting people. There have been hints that Cooro is the "angel with black wings" of some prophecy, though. As for the references, well, just read the manga :-P --Εξαίρετος (

Think of it like a American Comic. No basic plot, just people doing abnormal stuff.

I like to think of it as random adventuring. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 119.224.15.96 (talk) 06:33, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Margaret's +Anima

On the page it is listed as horse, but on page 129 of volume 3, the animal outline appears more as a deer (mainly the tail (short and standing up as opposed to a horse's being long) ). Maybe that should be changed.

Pictures

Does anyone think we should add pictures of the main characters? Maybe a before/after transformation thing.

I added in a picture of Cooro and Husky. I'll see about the other two later.--Animasage 22:57, 11 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Is that really husky? Looks like a real husky... Redskunk 01:23, 13 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It seems the image was uploaded replacing an existing image, and it was reverted. The image is here, but doesn't seem to be associated with anything in the Image namesopace. --Εξαίρετος (msg) 08:58, 13 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I had no idea it was messed up*shrug*.Guess I'll upload the already one.--Animasage 00:16, 15 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think there should be a picture for each character. It would make be better than just having one picture of Cooro for the whole article. I'll see if I can find some...

Profiles tweaked, Plot redone

I completely redid the Plot section. If I made a mistake (as I have only read 3 volumes), please correct it.

I also tweaked the wording of the profiles for the main characters (Cooro, Husky, Nana, Senri) and the other +Anima. Again, if I made a mistake, correct it for me =) DaniDaniDanica 00:08, 5 May 2007 (UTC) There were quite a few errors, so I went in and fixed those. There were also some bits of nonsense I don't know how got in there, so I got rid of those, too.[reply]

Hazuza 71.193.168.185 21:52, 20 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Currently, there are 6 (as of December 2007 anyway) NightMaj (talk) 04:16, 18 February 2008 (UTC) There are seven as of June 4th. Eight comes out on the 18th, I believe. Maybe the 16th.[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Cooro.jpg

Image:Cooro.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 21:40, 2 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Pronounciation

I've noticed that I can't find anywhere where you can actually find the pronounciation of the name. Is it like Plus Anima or what? This should probably also be put on the page, unless I'm just a totall clutz with not realizing stuff. (Also, sorry if this is a stupid question. I just HAD to know.) ZiruMatsuko 02:40, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thats alright, I believe that it is how you said, 'cause I can't think of any other way of saying it ;) Ericschulz 10:42, 6 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The katakana above the title says "Purasu Anima," so I guess it's Plus Anima. NightMaj (talk) 04:17, 18 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It should be "Plus Anima" according to the furigana. See the article on Blood+ for a similar case. --Eruhildo (talk) 05:07, 18 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Did the story conclude or did it end abruptly?

The way the article states this is a little confusing. When the manga "ended" did the story have any sort of resolution or was it cancelled and die on a cliffhanger? - The Norse (talk) 23:25, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Seriously, guys. I need to know. The article doesn't state anything farther into the story than chapter 8 (i skimmed, so...). Yeah. Please, find it out!!! >_<---usa-chan

It ends sort of suddenly. We finally learn about Cooro/his past, then they go live with **SPOILER** Haden and Margaret... Or at least it looks like it, 'cause they're at their house. I think they adopted them or something. I don't know. Wait for it to come out in English. DECEMBER 6th.

Stating +Anima Aren't Human

Isn't that what the book is all about? You're calling them anthropomorphic, animals with human characteristics, when they should be humans with animal characteristics! Also, when you said Sinon was originally a human, but became a +Anima, that's labeling them as a completely different species! Great job at not supporting the meaning of the manga!

Bisurge (talk) 03:26, 2 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

...You do realize +Anima isn't real, and that we can't offend the characters, right? That said, it's a pretty low quality article in general. If you want to try improving it, including making the lead synch more with the series tone, go right ahead. --erachima formerly tjstrf 03:30, 2 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Should the main characters have their own articles?

I think that once more of the manga comes out in English, we will have enough information to make seperate articles for Cooro, Husky, Senri and Nana. If ever they make +Anima an anime, then we should definitely put up pages for each of them. But that's just me.

Split and Expand.

This article definitely needs to split. I agree with the above user about the characters. We could include brief descriptions of the characters in the main page, but a separate article needs to be created for characters. I will try doing this, but if anyone is also willing, please feel free to do so. Not only characters, but if we can expand this article enough we split it into manga chapters or volumes also. As for expansion, we can add several other sections, including reception, etc. ~ Hyakurei (talk) 18:29, 3 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. Character pages should not be made unless they are notable. Do these characters have reception, concept/creation notes, merchandise modeled after them, anything like that? If not, they should be kept on either one list or on the main page. As it stands now, these characters don't seem to have any third-party sources and many of the other characters should be removed from the main page. Really, the best course of action is to remove all but the main characters, unless information on the characters tallies up enough to make a list/individual pages.
